Is it possible to do any kind of DoS attack to IoT boards without being on the same network?

Context: I have to do a project for a university course in which I have to keep a temperature sensor within a range of temperatures; building something to cool it down and something to heat it up. We are allowed to build other stuff to bother each others' projects, like a hair dryer to heat the other person's sensor. We are allowed to attempt to DoS other projects.

We are using Meadow boards, similar to Arduino or Raspberry, to control the cooling and heating systems, and the sensor is wired to the board. We are going to do the testing on the outside of the building, so I assume everyone will use their own network with a hotspot. What kind of DoS is possible to try against the other 3-4 teams with a laptop or even the board?

We thought about doing a DNS flooding but we are really new to this topic so we are not sure if that's even possible. Also thought about just trying to send wrong signals to their interface so it displays a fake sensor temperature.
